Shorts I understand - it feels more manufactured because it descends from YouTube, which is generally more polished, so it doesn't allow the weird "I'm talking to you personally" vibe. But I think reels just sucks because of Zuck.

I made a video about this precise conservation. My take away was basically the same - interesting, but if you're a layperson, it probably doesn't mean much. Hope you don't mind if I self-plug! www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8NwBNNh/

I *think* it'll just disappear from the store and stop receiving updates. But I also imagine all monetization in the US will stop immediately.
